Reconnect with former fellow students and enjoy a varied programme with family and friends, including guided tours, a nostalgic revival lecture, and musical entertainment. The programme will be complemented by class reunions for graduates from the years 1966, 1976, 1986, 1996, and 2006. All program items will be held in German.
